We introduce two families of symmetric functions generalizing the factorial Schur $P$- and $Q$- functions due to Ivanov. We call them $K$-theoretic analogues of factorial Schur $P$- and $Q$- functions. We prove various combinatorial…

Given the growing quantity of proposals and works of basic hypergeometric functions in the scope of $q$-calculus, it is important to introduce a systematic classification of $q$-calculus. Our aim in this article is to investigate certain…

We introduce a family of quasisymmetric functions called {\em Eulerian quasisymmetric functions}, which specialize to enumerators for the joint distribution of the permutation statistics, major index and excedance number on permutations of…

We define a new basis of quasisymmetric functions, the row-strict dual immaculate functions, as the generating function of a particular set of tableaux. We establish that this definition gives a function that can also be obtained by…

We study the problem of describing the set of real functionals on the quotient $\textrm{Sym}/(p_2-1)$ of the ring of symmetric functions that are nonnegative on the images of certain modified Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. This…

We consider families of quasisymmetric functions with the property that if a symmetric function $f$ is a positive sum of functions in one of these families, then f is necessarily a positive sum of Schur functions. Furthermore, in each of…

Egge, Loehr and Warrington gave in \cite{ELW} a combinatorial formula that permits to convert the expansion of a symmetric function, homogeneous of degree $n$, in terms of Gessel's fundamental quasisymmetric functions into an expansion in…

The Schur $P$-, $Q$-multiple zeta functions were defined by Nakasuji and Takeda inspired by the tableau representation of Schur $P$-, $Q$-functions. While a product of two Schur $P$-functions expands as a linear combination of Schur…

In 2020, Hamaker, Pawlowski, and Sagan introduced the \emph{pattern quasisymmetric functions}, which are quasisymmetric functions associated with pattern-avoidance classes of permutations, and defined via expansions in fundamental…

In his work on P-partitions, Stembridge defined the algebra of peak functions Pi, which is both a subalgebra and a retraction of the algebra of quasi-symmetric functions. We show that Pi is closed under coproduct, and therefore a Hopf…

We describe a combinatorial formula for the coefficients when the dual immaculate quasisymmetric functions are decomposed into Young quasisymmetric Schur functions. We prove this using an analogue of Schensted insertion. Using this result,…

For a simple connected graph $G$, the $Q$-generating function of the numbers $N_k$ of semi-edge walks of length $k$ in $G$ is defined by $W_Q(t)=\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {N_k t^k }$. This paper reveals that the $Q$-generating function…
